I am having trouble making a straight takeoff and am considering several possibilities and I would like some advice. Typically, the plane upon rotation will make a 30 degree turn away from the field staging area. I am considering using slight use of rudder to correct for it.
This problem has followed me with 3 different airplanes
Welcome to the RCU forums, jwayne!
If you were sitting in the cockpit, that 30 turn would be right or left?
Are this one and the three other planes trikes or draggers?
Rudder control is good; you can never have too much:
